Aug 29, 2023
Dr Lazzaro saved my life. I flew from California to New Jersey for him to repair a tracheabronchplasty. I was told it could not be done. I can’t thank him enough for taking me as a patient and performing a robotic surgery. My quality of life is outstanding because of him. Thank you Dr Lazzaro.
